Motor Impairments in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder: a Multimodal Approach

Motor Impairments in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder: a Multimodal Approach

The general goal of the present proposal, Progetto MOSAICO, is the identification of a multimodal panel of neuropsychological, kinematic, neurophysiological, and genetic markers associated with motor abnormalities present in ASD.

Inclusion Criteria:

• having a clinical diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders (either ASD, ADHD, or intellectual disability) according to DSM-5 criteria;
• children with typical development are also recruited from the general population by local pediatricians or from kindergartens/schools sited near our institute

Exclusion Criteria:

• using any stimulant or non-stimulant medication affecting the central nervous system
• having an identified genetic disorder
• having vision or hearing problems
• suffering from chronic or acute medical illness.
